Love, itself is a learned response. And how a person learns to love is in direct relationship to the environment in which he or she is raised and by who they were taught. More people behave as if love were something that remains dormant inside until some magical thing happens to cause it to bloom. Many people spend lifetimes trying to find love. To some love is not something to think about but just something to experience. In some small degree all of these statements carry an element of truth. But none of them is the whole truth.
If a person wanted to be something in specific like an actor or attorney they would have to study to learn how to be either. A child at birth does not know anything about love. As the child grows, the world around him and the people he or she is involved with ustimately teach them about love and what it means. Love is not only an emotion but a response to an emotion. When this child grows into an adult, the way he loves and accepts love is based on what he has been taught. So as a professional learns and perfects a trade so must a person to truely understand the multi-facets of love. Don't cut yourself short on experiencing the fullness of love by limiting yourself to only the things you learned during childhood. Only when we choose to communicate and learn how to love and be loved, then we will experience more of its fullness.
